We had a very busy Christmas day! We woke up early for Murphy to have his Santa presents. Next we went over to John and Debbie's house for Christmas breakfast. Then we went to Nashville for Christmas dinner with my family. Murphy did well with all of the travel and excitement! Here are some pics! Murphy was a little sleepy during his first time seeing what Santa brought him! Murphy and Daddy got matching bathing suits from Dee Dee and Dibs! Gramps, Allie Harris, and Murphy Murphy and Allie Harris are so excited!

The excitement is now wearing off! Murphy and Big Will in Nashville Big Will entertaining Murph Me, Walker, Murphy, Will, and LinLinMurphy is very hot natured! He always has to stip down to his diaper by the end of the night! Here are the highlights of our "Michelin Man"!

Murphy's excitement about his new hat is almost more than he can take! Back at home playing with his 2nd cousin, Charlotte-she, too, is hot natured! It must be a trait from the Diddle side of the family!:) Murphy later shared his bouncy chair with Charlotte. She was very curoius about it here! Playing at home with his new rings- He looks like he is about to eat the camera!!!:)Christmas was wonderful, especially with a little one around! I can't imagine how next year will be when he is mobile! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!:)

And all through the house, all the Diddles were stirring-well, cosmos and martinis! haha Looking at DeeDee's tree with Daddy Reading with Mommy Playing with Uncle Wes Kicking on the floor-I'm not sure about the look on his face here!:) Murphy and Allie Harris talking while everyone is eating dinner

Allie Harris giving Murphy night night kisses

We went over to Walker's parent's house on Christmas eve. Murphy had a great time playing with his cousin, aunts and uncles, and his grandparents. We also celebrated DeeDee's birthday! As you can see, he had to strip by the end of the night-he is so hot natured! Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I will post Christmas day pics tomorrow!

Here are some pics of what Murphy has been doing this week! LinLin has been here to visit, his cousin Allie Harris is in town, and so are his aunt and uncles on Walker's side of the family. Murphy is having so much fun! Santa will be here before we know it and he is so excited! Watching football with Daddy in their headbands- Murphy borrowed one from his Daddy and it fit him! Scary!!! Kicking around with Allie Harris! They really liked each other. They laughed and cooed for a long time!I love this one! She has him by the sleeve as if to say, "Hey! I'm in charge here!" Murphy was looking at her going, "Ok, whatever you say!" :) Murphy is showing LinLin and the camera how to eat his rattle!

Miller and Murphy- both eyeing my cookie Murphy is staying in his exersaucer much longer now! He has started to move around the whole way, playing with each toy for a few minutes. He likes to be on his tummy, especially in only a diaper! He is so hot natured! (Like daddy) He has now rolled over from his tummy to his back about 6 times! (He did it twice at 5 weeks and once at 6 weeks, but that may have been b/c his head was so much heavier compared to his body!) He has really filled out and is getting heavy! Resting after playing all night with LinLin Murphy is practicing sitting up like a big boy! He loves to put his arm up on the armrest!

We went to Nashville to visit while Daddy went to the SEC Championship in Atlanta. (Yes, I'm a little behind on my blogs!) It was great. Here are some pics from the trip and some others from last week.

Murphy at Big Will's ballgame! He loved watching the Bisons! The back of his onesie- It has Big Will's number on it! Rocking with Gram! Watching the SEC Championship game :( with Kelvin! Murphy is telling Auntie Rhonda how disappointed he is with the Vols' loss to LSU! Murphy at Sunday school! He was the best student according to his teacher, Lin Lin!:) BrenBren, Marilyn, and Debbie were thoroughly impressed with his attire as well as his attention span!! He was a very good listener and loved all the babies!

Back at home watching Santa read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" We put Murphy's exersaucer together and he loves it! He doesn't know how to use all of the parts yet, but he loves the dials that spin and make noise! Murphy and Miller are big buddies! I love this one- he looks like he is really reading!

Here we are visiting auntie Julia at Seabrook- just down the road from where we were at Kiawah! Murph loved all the attention that week, especially from Jules, one of his favorites! Murphy had fun seeing the Bright family and loved it that Mrs. Shelly held him while Mommy took the tour and Daddy watched the game! Here is Murphy meeting his godfather, Taylor, for the first time! "Whoa! I've never been up this high before!" (Taylor is 6'9"!!!) Hangin' in my Christmas outfit- I really like sitting up and looking around these days!
